Dr Sir
I have the honor to reply to your polite note of the 20th. inst. informing of the arrival at Austin of a small party of Comanche, that you had received them as friends, and furnished them with provisions, all of which is highly satisfactory and entitled you to many acknowledgements for your kind offices particularly when they evince some shy- ness on account of some slight misunderstanding between them and the Delaware who are our friends and to a certain extent identified with the whites, with a view to concilate matters be- tween the parties, Mr. Sloat who is agent to both tribes will shortly make a tour in the Comanche range, west as far as the Colorado and perhaps farther, he will leave the post on the Brazos in about 10 days and will be accompanied by some 50 or 60 Delaware, Caddo and other friendly Indians as it were on a hunting excursion their object is peaceful and concilatory, per your government. The accounts for the Beef and corn purchased by you for the Comanche at Austin, will be paid upon presentation at this office duly attested by yourself.
